ATTENTION J-Bloggers YOU MAY NEED A GOOD LAWYER

UH-OH We are ALL in trouble now. According to the Jerusalem Post, Egypt is going after bloggers who insult Islam.

Egypt tries blogger who ‘insulted Islam’An Egyptian blogger went on trial Thursday on charges of insulting Islam and inciting sectarian strife for his Internet writing criticizing Muslim authorities and the Egyptian government, his lawyer and court officials said….. His lawyer, Radwa Sayed Ahmed, said Nabil had been held in solitary confinement, forbidden visits from his family and lawyers. In Thursday’s brief court session, “he didn’t look good,” she told the Associated Press from court in the port city of Alexandria.

Why is this a problem? Because this week many of my favorite blogs wrote posts that wonderful–relevant– insightful and even funny, but they weren’t exactly “politically correct when it came to the “religion of peace”. I have only been part of this Jblog world a few months but I would hate to see some of my newfound blog friends rotting away in an Egyptian prison.

Folks I encourage you all to read these posts, not because of their exceptional quality but so you know what you can and cannot write about if you want to stay in the good graces of the Egyptian Blog Police.
